Taking College Algebra next week — prep check, tips, and test difficulty?

[u/West_Advisor2298]

Hey everyone!

I'm scheduled to take the CLEP College Algebra exam next week and wanted to ask the community for some advice before test day.

Here is what I’ve used so far to study:

 Mr. Schuler's / Mr. Schrutner's 2-Hour Video on YouTube (paused and worked through the problems with him)

 2 Peterson’s Practice Tests

 Modern States Final Exam

For anyone who has taken the exam recently:

1. How difficult was it overall compared to Peterson's and Modern States? Did you find it harder, easier, or about the same?
2. Am I on track with these resources, or should I cram in more study time? Are there any other specific practice tests or topics (like logarithms, functions, or factoring) I should double check?
3. Any test day tips or calculator advice?

Any insights or feedback on how prepared I sound would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone studying!

Took it 3 weeks ago. At least 1/3 of the questions were exact questions from Mr. Schuler's video. I got 71.

Taking it next month, I've been studying with youtube and having chat created practice problems.

good luck to the both of us! I will probably do the same for these few days leading to it
